Title: Does any Chicago fans know if sportsman’s announcer Gil Levine is still alive?
Post by: Larry Bird Boy on August 26, 2023, 10:41:13 PM: Oh was that guy pathetic. Probably the worst announcer in the history of Chicago racing. Couldn’t call a photo to save his ass. Was suspended several times for being drunk or stoned in the booth. Sick sick gambler who used to throw a fit when he felt like he got stiffed. Brian Pelling was waiting outside the stable gate one night to fight him but the chicken shit didn’t show up and called security and Langley about it so Brian got fined.

The guy had to be an idiot. Never got any better and talk about an annoying ahold to be around. He had to pay the track to announce because there was no way sportsman’s would ever pay him $5 for his annoying bs. Really sore loser and sick gambler too that loved betting chalks.

If you think that just talk some of the horsemen like pelling and graham. They wanted to bust his face open. He was a sick gambler who owed everyone and often blew anything he had in his pocket. Kinda creepy looking too
